The specific embodiment
Fig. 1 illustrates a roof 10 that is provided with a sliding top system.This sliding top system has an open top 12 that is positioned at a rigid roof part.
Open top 12 can partially or even wholly expose by means of a lid 14, and described lid 14 can move being parallel on the direction of longitudinal direction of car.Described lid 14 can also be raised up to a vent position by promoting its rear rim 16.A side protective screen 18 is arranged on the below of described lid 14, and when described when covering in its vent position, side protective screen 18 extends downwards along the edge 20,22 of lid 14, thereby hides the gap between described lid 14 and the guide rail 28.Described guide rail is the primary member of framework, and described framework is connected with each other the member of sliding top system, and described framework for example can comprise a CD-ROM drive motor, a drainage groove or the like.
Air baffle 24 places on the front edge 26 of open top 12 (specifically referring to Fig. 2 and Fig. 4).This air baffle 24 is rigid members of U-shaped, and is fastened to a supporting-point (not shown) on the described guide rail 28 in the zone of lateral edges 20,22 pivotally.An air baffle spring 30 is attached to air baffle 24, and this spring is suitable for making air baffle 24 to deviate to described raised position.When the removable hood 14 of sliding top system is in one when partially opening the position at least, air baffle 24 has the function that can improve flow condition.
The member that side protective screen 18 preferably is made of plastics.By means of slotted guide 34, the front end of side protective screen 18 is attached to air baffle 24.In this kind structure, side protective screen 18 has a guiding groove 36, and air baffle 24 has a directing pin 38.By means of the described slotted guide 34 that is formed by guiding groove 36 and directing pin 38, described air baffle 24 and described side protective screen 18 connect can carry out limited motion (specifically referring to Fig. 3 and Fig. 5).
Described side protective screen 18 is pivotally connected to described guide rail 28 by means of a lifting arm 40 at its tail end place.One promotes spring 42---for example a pin spring (leg spring)---is attached to described lifting arm 40.Described side protective screen 18 can be offset to towards the top and hide the position.
A position between described slotted guide 34 and described lifting arm 40, described side protective screen 18 is attached to guide rail 28 (specifically referring to Fig. 6) further by means of an abutment structure 44.Abutment structure 44 is made of the pillar 46 that is mounted to side protective screen 28 and a long and narrow hole 48 that is arranged on the guide rail 28.Long and narrow hole 48 allows pillar 46 vertical motions.
Contiguous lifting arm 40 is provided with a stop part 32 on side protective screen 18.The function of explained later stop part 32.
Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 illustrate described sliding top system, and its middle cover 14 is in off position.Stop part 32 leans against and covers on 14.The lagging dege of taking this side protective screen remains on the position of falling, and is opposite with the effect that promotes spring 42.The front portion of lid 14 remains on the described position of falling with air baffle 24, and is opposite with the effect of air baffle spring 30.Because connect by slotted guide 34, the front portion of side protective screen 18 also remains on it and falls the position.
Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 illustrate the lid that is positioned at vent position.Make by motor power and to cover 14 to raise be known.In vent position, the front edge of lid is in raised position.Take this, lid 14 front edge 26 continues air baffle 24 remained on falls the position, and the front portion of side protective screen 18 also remains on and falls the position.
Because the lagging dege 16 of lid 14 has risen to reach described vent position, the stop part 32 on side protective screen 18 equally can upward movement.By means of lifting arm 40---it can link with the lifting spring 42 of prestrain---rear portion of described side protective screen 18 has been moved upward to the covering position shown in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.And then the side protective screen is along with lid 14 arrives vent position, and stop part 32 continues to lean against and covers on 14.In moving to the process that hides the position, the long and narrow hole 48 that the pillar 46 of abutment structure 44 is being located on the guide rail 28 always is interior upwards mobile.
Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 illustrate described sliding top system, and wherein said lid 14 is positioned at an open position.Because lid 14 moves to the rear portion, air baffle 24 has been released.This is the reason that air baffle 24 can upwards be moved by prestrain air baffle spring 30.In this process, owing to pass through the connection of slotted guide 34, the front portion of side protective screen is upwards driven.With stating guiding groove 36, directing pin 38 allows at this required longitudinal compensation.Because pillar 46 has been in the upper end of long and narrow hole when air baffle raises motion, the side protective screen clockwise rotates around pillar 48 always; The rear portion of taking this side protective screen 18 moves down on the contrary with the effect that promotes spring 42, makes the side protective screen be in the releasing position shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7 now.In described releasing position, because side protective screen 18 is between guide rail 28 and inner sealing (not shown), side protective screen 18 is sightless from the outside, and it can not cause any because the fulsome side noise that air-flow caused further.
In order to come back to the initial position according to Fig. 2, lid 14 is got back to off position.In this process, lid 14 moves downward and prestrain air baffle spring 30 air baffle 24, and to pressing down, and directing pin 38 is mobile guiding groove 36 in along long and narrow hole 48 for pillar 46.So air baffle 24 and side protective screen 18 are positioned at once more falls the position, simultaneously, be used to provide the failure-free anti-pinch protection in lid 14 gap that side protective screen 18 hides between described lid 14 and the guide rail 28 effectively when vent position moves to off position.
